Pearl could feel his hot skin against her in the cool water, his hands scalding her as he ran them over her breasts and down her sides and along her tail. Her tail swayed gently back and forth to keep herself afloat, and he could not hide his arousal from her as he held her to him – nor did he want to, he wanted her to know just what it was he was feeling. She knew what it felt like to desire him when she was out of the water, it was a sharp ache, and she shivered when his fingers unknowingly ran along her hidden folds.
Thorin released her mouth and looked down in the water wondering what he had touched, seeing in the dim light and having felt the smooth soft skin that it was her womanhood; and he stared amazed for he had thought she must need legs to lie with him.

"You are sure?" he asked not wanting her to be the least bit uncertain, though he could see in her eyes what she wanted.

"Yes," she breathed as she ran her fingers over his face, and he pressed his lips against them when they found his mouth.

They had already swum so far from the camp, Thorin delighting in the fast movements of her strong tail as she held onto him. He lowered her onto the bank and settled on top of her, seeing more clearly the dark pink flesh that beckoned him to take her – he had always been larger than her, her body small and fragile, but he could see she may be too small take him, seeing how tightly wound her slick folds were.

"What is it you are wanting?" he asked needing to see she knew exactly what was to happen.

Pearl stared at him confused, for she did in fact know, wondering if perhaps he was the one unsure. "There is something intimate in the way people lie together, it isn't just mating," she said as she ran her hands along his sides to reach his waist, hearing his breathing deepen. "There's love in it, I want that."

She raised her chin to meet his lips, his legs spreading around her, and she could almost feel that he was near in the way she ached for him. She felt herself tighten more when all he did was kiss her leaving her aflame with need. Her hips raised nearly out of their own accord to seek him out and it was a great relief when she found him.

His knees gave out and he was left barely able to hold himself up, moans escaping him without control, the muscles in her womanhood tightening around him, surrounding him and nearly sucking. It was as though she was milking him, pulling him deeper without him moving, pulling and squeezing, and he could do no more than lay atop of her and cry out unceasingly as his every fiber was filled with pleasure. Stars exploded behind his eyes as they rolled back, her hands firm on his hips as she pulled him closer.

Pearl held him as he shuddered, his deep voice moaning in her ear. She could feel him throbbing inside her, heat spreading through her as his hips bucked. She felt the dull pain of desire ebb away after he had finished, that being all she had needed, and Thorin pulled out and rolled on his side breathing heavily.

Thorin did not think there were words for what had just happened, for how she had felt surrounding him. "Was that pleasing for you?" she asked brushing his hair out of his face.

He looked over at her startled, wondering how she could think what had happened was anything but pleasing. "Of course, I have never felt anything of the like," he admitted smiling with an arm around her back. "You didn't," he said realizing she hadn't, why would she for he had done nothing but revel in the way she felt.

Pearl's brows furrowed in confusion at his words, females did not find pleasure in mating – or so she thought. "Why would I?"

It was Thorin who was confused then. "You are to," he explained. "I am supposed to please you," he said realizing he had only been thinking of himself.

"How do you do that?" she asked intrigued, wanting to feel what had made him moan as he had.

His eyes fell to the cleft in her tail, which had closed, and he ran his fingers over the soft scales eliciting a shiver out of Pearl. Her muscles contracted around his finger and he felt a twitch in his groin at the memory of what being inside her felt like. Though a look at her face told him that it did nothing for her and so he pulled away. There were so many ways she was human, but then there were several ways in which she wasn't – it saddened him that this was one of them for he wanted to pleasure her.

"I don't think I understand the way you mate," she said running her hands along his chest.

He sighed as he held her against him. "You have never felt that?" he asked amazed.

Pearl looked at him not understanding and shook her head. "I don't I think I can." Pearl watched as Thorin continued to stare at her tail, his fingers tracing the scales around her slit.

"Yes you can," Thorin said quietly, a thought catching in his mind, his eyes returning to her face.

Pearl smiled and shook her head. "Thorin I don't think you understand, I can't because I'm not supposed to."

Thorin smiled as he hovered over her, hardening even more at the thoughts swirling in his head. "But you are, you just don't know it," he told her as he wrapped his arms around her, the cold chilling his skin.

"How do you know that?" she wanted to know, having only thought the purpose of mating was to have children. She had seen men and women having sex and she had seen the women had enjoyed it but she hadn't understood it, and she still didn't.

Thorin smiled at her as he held her, wanting more than anything to show her. "I will just have to show you, but your tail needs to dry off first," he explained.

She laid against Thorin's chest impatiently as the cold wind slowly dried her tail and she hooked a leg over his waist and straddled him when it finally did.

Thorin smiled as he ran his hands further up her legs, feeling her every movement as she realized her skin was more sensitive.

It felt strange at first, his thumb between her legs, and she shivered when he did it again; warmth gathering in her stomach as he continued. Her hips bucked when his thumb moved faster and she looked down when she felt his hand on her waist pulling her forward. She let him move her, pressing harder on his hand causing her to gasp from the feeling, and her eyes fell shut.

He released his hold on her waist and she continued rocking her hips, her hands flat on his chest to hold herself up. She felt the muscles in her legs quivering as she moved faster, feeling something burning in her as his thumb continued in circles. She nearly whimpered when he pulled away, Thorin realizing she had been close, and he rolled them so he was on top of her. Her breathing came in soft pants as she laid beneath him with a leg on either side of his waist. She took a breath when he entered her, feeling his tongue on her neck, stretching as he filled her.

"Breathe," he said softly in her ear before his thumb resumed stroking her, delighting her as pleasure once more spread through her. She moaned when he pulled out, not wanting him to, and another moan escaped her when he thrusted back in. Her mewling was muffled beneath Thorin's tongue as were his as his thrusts came faster, her legs tightened around him when she felt something warm building. He pulled her knees up higher on his sides spreading her legs wider and her back arched as she felt him thrust deeper. Her moans came more frequent and hearing them sent a twinge through him, her beautiful voice wrapping around his name nearly sending him over the edge. It was feeling her tighten around him as she reached her own release that led him to his.

Her legs felt as though they were swimming, muscles spasming as the warmth that had gathered broke. She felt him shudder against her a second time as he finished and he stilled on top of her.

"That is how I please you," he said breathlessly as he kissed her. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she stared up at him, seeing both the uncertainty and the satisfaction in her blue eyes.

"Why can't I feel that all the time?" she asked wanting to know where that feeling had been the first time.

"You will," he swore as he kissed her neck. "I will pleasure you every time we make love."

Pearl smiled as she looked up at him, enjoying the way his arms tightened around her when he said that as though she were his; and in his mind she was, she was his alone.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed. It's a little different than I had expected but I hope it's still good. I may put up another chapter of their sexual relations if I see that it fits somewhere in my story, if not then this may be it.

So I realized last chapter that I never explained what all happened with Thranduil while she was there; I opted out of doing what I had intended because it's very dark and I didn't think (based on reviews) that many people would enjoy it. I have hinted that things happened so if anyone is interested in me doing a chapter where I went into what all happened with Thranduil, let me know and I'll do it. But, it is very dark and it keeps him creepy - and quite possibly sexual but not with her. I will say I never imagined him raping or touching her in a sexual manner, so it's not that kind of dark.
